The above is why I tried to get you to talk about salt.

How about cute babies, then ?

The original question would relate to "why" babies are cute.Your answer would then be "we like them because they are cute" - but that does not say why they are cute - or why we like cute things. There is no inherent cuteness or beauty in a colour, in a shape, or arrangement.
